What is the Triggers and Coping Skills worksheet?
The triggers and coping skills worksheet pdf is a single three-column table: Personal Triggers, Impact of Trigger, and Coping Strategies. A client writes one trigger per row, then names what it costs them and what they would do instead. Keeping all three on one line makes the link explicit.
How to use the Triggers and Coping Skills worksheet
Use it both in session and as homework. Fill the Personal Triggers column first and stop there, because a client who is asked for a coping strategy too early will name one they have never used. Come back to the Impact of Trigger column once the list is honest. Your clients can complete Coping Strategies between sessions, writing only what they have actually tried before. The sheet asks for situations, people, places or emotions, so all four are fair game.
Triggers and Coping Skills Worksheet Download – What’s Included
One printable page. It holds a single table with three columns: Personal Triggers, Impact of Trigger and Coping Strategies. There are enough rows to keep a working list rather than a one-off exercise. A line of instruction above the table names what counts as a trigger: situations, people, places or emotions that lead to unwanted behavior.
